All By Myself



I found a great deal on a hard to find size television (because it just had to fit into my tv armoire- I hate having the tv exposed when it's not being watched), lugged it up these steep stairs, and amazingly figured out how to set it up and connect it to the cable and the blu-ray player. All. By. Myself. It may not seem that difficult to some people, but trust me, I am all but useless with setting up anything electronic. That's what my brothers were for, and then when I got married, my husband.

With all these little things I've learned to do since Mike's been gone- fixing random things around the house, taking care of car issues, and now this- he's afraid he's only going to be good for two things: helping me make baby #2 and giving me his paycheck.

But believe me, once he gets back home, I'm passing all these extra responsibilities I've had to take on back to him. I'm finding that yes, I can survive without my husband, but I'd much rather have him around to spoil me by taking care of all the 'guy' things.

Finally, Elmo is his proper shade of red!

Enjoying the fruits of her mama's hard work.

You go with your bad self!!! That is awesome (and something I'm sad to admit that I would never even attempt on my own!)

You can do anything, as long as you follow the printed instructions. Panasonic makes a very nice TV. Your new TV should last a long time, even between multiple navy moves.
